Who can recommend a good brand of weight gloves? My hands are getting cut up due to the new nurling on the bars and attachments.

anything really imo

I used to have leather gloves but they ripped on me (after 5 years of having them mind you) now have the nonslip cloth material ones just because that's all they sold at the gym I go to

went without gloves for awhile coz cbf'd buying new gloves when my other ones ripped but started getting corns where my palm meets my fingers

friday

- have sex

Saturday (if keen)

- just arms, bicep curls, tricep press ra ra

- cardio

- try have sex with the missus LOL

repeat.

that explains it...

try having sex on the OTHER days to compliment your workouts & you'll notice an improvement

I suggest finding other female workout partners if your missus isn't available :D:)

I agree with some_cs_student, John...there's too much isolation going on there, too many exercises...particularly if you want to increase muscle size. And I see a fair bit of crossover in that routine...you should give certain muscle groups a bit more rest...rest is just as important as your workout.

$20-25 fingerless Harbingers from Rebel Sport...don't need anything special in this department. If you go heavy with the weights you'll still get corns with gloves but they won't be anywhere as bad.

On what lifts?

Your hands will get used to it over time, I use chalk for heavy deadlift's.

Although if you never plan on competing in power-lifting or similar than you can get away with gloves...since not using gloves I've found my grip stronger though.

Yeah, not lifting really heavy weights. I think the problem is the nurling, its pretty rippy. Ive actually split the skin on two fingers so I think gloves are the go at least until they fix themselves.

Hrmss.. so what should I be doing? I got some flab on the gut btw.. I wake up seeing a faint 6 but as soon as breakie goes in it's gone...

Any recommendations on the workout? I want to gain some more size & be tone... (I know I know, can't bulk and tone at the same time)

Two problems there, your associating your workout with fat loss.

I don't agree with the bulking/toning, have a read of The Truth About Bulking

You can gain muscle and look more toned at the same time, its just hard to do. In fact, I don't agree with bulking/cutting cycles at all, have a read of The first 5 years

PTC - 10 GREATEST FITNESS/STRENGTH MYTHS read number 9 in particular.

Finally maybe try a beginners program?

Quoting Markos from that article "You are a beginner if you cant bench 100kg, squat 140kg and deadlift 180kg. I dont care what your bodyweight is, get bigger, its why your lifting. Bodyweight is not an excuse."

Also see my previous posted link :)

very interesting read!

yes, I am at work, I got in at 4:00 am to do an upgrade on a scheduling system, don't ask lol

Not sure if my routine (on the previous page) is any good though, might need some guidance on what I doing wrong.

Hey all,

Just quickly does anyone know of a decent gym down south, which has free weights and cardio equipment?

Ideally somewhere along the coast between Nowra and say, Ulladulla, so including the Jervis Bay / Vincentia area.

Can't find much online...

Haha yeah, sorry didn't mention that I could be down that way for the holidays for a week or two and would like to be able to keep the routine... there will be plenty of pudding etc to work off :(

I can recommend you DON'T buy harbinger gloves, every pair I've had has ripped in the same spot - down the seam where the tag is on the inside. I'm on my 3rd pair (returned) and I've given up and am using them with gaping holes.

Serious man? I'm on my 3rd pair after like 8 years of training. I buy the cheapest Harbingers too :(

Are they tight or loose when you wear them? Gym gloves should be fairly loose...I see alot of people at my gym with snug fitting gloves and IMO this restricts movement and breathing. You can hold a pair of sponges and use them for grip, so gloves certainly don't need to be tight.

I got a set or urban Muscle gloves, fit good. I only using them on the rotating bar and for seated rows. ive used the Urban Muscle protein powder too, delish and gots the goods.

Pink sponges definately... work the best. :(

    • Cheers fellas, I got a price for a r33 gtst box was 1500 including post and thought it was too cheap  
    • The SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more. 
    • Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.
    • Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.
